내가 바벨론 왕의 팔을 견고하게 하고 내 칼을 그 손에 붙이려니와 내가 바로의 팔을 꺾으리니 그가 바벨론 왕의 앞에서 고통하기를 죽게 상한 자의 고통하듯 하리라
에스겔 30:24
An Invitation to the New Church #10
10. The "fulness of time" also signifies consummation and desolation: the reason is that "time" signifies the state of the Church (see Revelation 10:6; and in Ezekiel). The same also is signified by "a time, times, and half a time" [see Revelation 12:14; Daniel 7:25; 12:7]. Times in the world are spring, summer, autumn; and the fulness of them is winter. Times as to light are morning, noon, evening; and the fulness of these is night, etc. , etc. This is meant by the Lord's coming being in "the fulness of time" or of "times;" that is, when there is no longer any truth of faith and good of charity remaining. (Concerning "the fulness of time," see Romans 11:12, 25; Galatians 4:4, and, especially, Ephesians 1:9, 10; Genesis 15:16).
Daniel 12:7
7
